Robert was born in Brunswick on Dec. 7, 1950, the son of Paul and Lorraine (Poulin) Bisson. He was known for his strong work ethic, and he put it to use his whole life. Over the years he worked at HC Crooker while also working and later being part owner of L. P. Bisson and Sons, John Davis, Topsham Glass, and Brunswick Glass. But above all, he ran L. P. Bisson and Sons, and the farm surrounding it, on the Meadow Road, in Topsham.

He was a life member. Robert was predeceased by his parents, sisters Louise Bernier and Lucille Pelkey, sister-in-law Carol Bisson, brothers-in-law Henry Bernier and Tom Glowdus, nephew Harry Downs, Jr, and his niece Kathy Winn.
